The Good Time Quilters of Blind Bay are Sewing it up Again!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

Remember the Good Time Quilters of Blind Bay (GTQ of Blind Bay)? They’re sewing my 2006 BOM “Cinnamon-teen Chocolate Figs & Roses” quilt from my sister site, BOMquilts.com!

Cinnamon-teen Chocolate Figs & Roses 2006 BOM Quilt from BOMQuilts.com. An original sampler design of 16-patch squares made with a touch of cinnamon with chocolate, figs & roses – sure to be a delectable delight!

They are now three months into making their quilt blocks and, my oh my, I think they’re having way too much fun! Is that a thing? Having too much fun? Naw, not for quilters, anyway! 🙂




Here are some photos of the quilt blocks that Mandy S. sent to me of her own quilt blocks. She is making them from a batik layer cake that she had in her stash:




The photo below is of some of the members of the GTQ of Blind Bay with three month’s worth of their “Cinnamon-teen Chocolate Figs & Roses” quilt blocks:

Blind Bay Quilt Group Three Month's Worth of Quilt Blocks Sewing from the original pattern by TK Harrsion "Cinnamon-Teen Chocolate Figs and Roses" Block of the Month found at https://BOMquilts.com

I wonder, though, whatever are the GTQ of Blind Bay going to do for space when they continue adding quilt blocks to that stage? I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to seeing how the photo (and quilts) evolve!

 

The Good Time Quilters of Blind Bay

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

“The Good Time Quilters of Blind Bay,” Sorrento, British Columbia, Canada is not a formal guild, but a group of very social quilters. We now have 53 members, on average 25 will attend the meetings. Many of us travel and go to warmer climates in the winter. Our group was formed in 1997 by a group of friends with a passion for quilting and who enjoyed the company of fellow quilters. Their object was to have fun, enjoying lots of chit chat, potluck lunches and laughing together while doing what they loved.




“Show & Tell is a favorite part of all our meetings. From this, ideas and techniques are shared, and members willingly offer to do demonstrations of new quilting patterns and techniques . We like to have a demo each month, and sometimes bring a presenter in to teach a class. Our projects vary, large and small. Mystery quilts, BOM’s, table runner’s and the list goes on.

“The lasting friendships formed, a feeling of belonging and the skills shared are the special focus of our group and we embrace all who have a desire to quilt and learn along with us.”

This year (and into next year), the Good Time Quilters of Blind Bay have chosen to make my original pattern from my sister site BOMquilts.com called “Cinnamon-teen Chocolate Figs & Roses.”
